The Olympic Delivery Authority's Biodiversity Action Plan outlines strategies for minimizing construction impacts on the environment and enhancing local habitats. This initiative focuses on providing suitable mitigation habitats, conducting detailed site surveys, removing invasive species, and creating off-site habitats. Significant findings from 2010 highlight the presence of rare species, such as the Black Redstart and Nathusius' Pipistrelle bat. Comprehensive management and maintenance efforts aim to ensure long-term ecological health, while also documenting notable bird and invertebrate species in the area.

Introduction • Biodiversity • Minimise effects of construction on the environment • Provide suitable habitat mitigation • Deliver new habitat and species enhancements • Management and maintenance of habitat
Managing ecology in construction • Detailed site surveys • Removal of invasive species • Translocation of species • Creation of off site habitats
